Newton’s Trap by: James Bickel Dean Dudley Chip Hovis
Overview: • Total build time = 7 hours (including tests) • Materials Used = Mostly scraps found around Room 13 • Wood, traps, PVC etc. • Goal of project = Push van down the ramp using multiple energy conversions
Energy: • Types of Energy Conversions Used • Elastic Potential • Gravitational Potential • Kinetic • Conservation of Momentum
Problems: • Issues encountered building project: • Limited supplies • Trouble with Newton’s Cradle • Safety Issues (marble being launched)
